Sex and the City

The world premiere of a movie set almost exclusively in Manhattan took place in London last night, with the stars of Sex in the City walking up the red carpet to the screams of hysterical fans. Asked why the premiere was in London and not New York, star Sarah Jessica-Parker simply said "We decided to have it here and we're delighted to be here", while somewhat implausibly Kim Cattrall claimed that she has spent so much time in Britain that she even has an Oyster card.

Cynthia Nixon said "We're having a kind of smallish premiere here (and) we're having a smallish premiere in Berlin. We're building to the New York premiere which is enormous." Perhaps the New York event will also see a rather more glossy parade of stars - the Brits who turned out included Alex Curran, Davina McCall and Martine McCutcheon
